[mythtv-users] Mencoder XviD encoding Sanity Check

[John Westlund]

I posted about a week ago about how I could suddenly no longer play most of
my XviD encoded shows with the internal player - I think the issue lies with
how I'm encoding from the mpeg out of my HDHomeRun to XviD - so I was hoping
some mencoder users/gurus could sanity check my encoding commands:

This encoding command produces a playable XviD:
/usr/bin/mencoder -msglevel all=5 -aspect 1.77777777777778 -idx
/MythTV/infile.mpg -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3:br=128
-xvidencopts max_key_interval=59:fixed_quant=6 -o /MythTV/outfile.XviD.avi
-vf scale=576:320

This encoding command produces a non-playable XviD:
/usr/bin/mencoder -msglevel all=5 -aspect 1.33333333333333 -idx
/MythTV/infile.mpg -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3:br=128
-xvidencopts max_key_interval=59:fixed_quant=6 -o /MythTV/outfile.XviD.avi
-vf scale=352:320

I haven't tried taking the same input file and switching up the encoding
commands, but it appears that any XviD I add to Myth that someone else has
encoded works.  Which makes me think I'm doing something wrong.
